STANDING ALONE - This collection of mini stories invite you to the day-to-day activities in the lives of three teens, which are chronicled in journal entries. In four parts, they discuss disturbing issues such as a gay teen's fear of bullying, brutal beatings, sexual assault, and apathy of teachers and others. Follow a young female and her mom forced into homelessness by an abusive father to endure life on the streets, sexual assault by a predator in a homeless shelter, and victimized by someone who rescues them from being homeless. Read the journal entries of a physically abused youth by an addicted mother and his determination to keep eight other siblings safe. Final entries documenting an unsolved mystery, death of a teen, and fear of reporting a pedophile's advances, will shock you and bring you to tears. Read their journals and see them cope against the odds in Mattie Alexander's Standing Alone.Product Identifiers

Author BiographyMattie Alexander is a young 15 year old living in Seattle, Washington. Born in Houston, Texas, parents moved family to Seattle where she grew up. Now a high school sophomore she proudly participates in after-school programs for youth and she is a member of the Kutt'n'Up dance crew. She found the meaning of time management, just like her mom, not only makes time to fulfill her responsibilities but to take advantage of an opportunity of a lifetime, which was to follow in her mother's footstep and publish a book. The rest is history and she looks forward to many positive things to come.
